Title, I'm a leftist but after reading some things on lemmygrad and here it seems I might have been lied to all my life. I have talked with some people from Cuba and Venezuela (expats) that support the west narrative about poverty and mismanagement. I "believe" that Russia is attacking Ukraine for selfish reasons and that China censors access to foreign information using the Great Firewall, please prove me wrong. Furthermore, it ultimately depends who do you want to believe or there are hard facts from reputable sources that are simply a hidden by the mass media?
EDIT: Thanks everyone for your very civil responses. I'll answer as many as I can!
Tbh getting around the firewall is trivial for many people, but it's hard for old people who are susceptible to insane boomer propaganda. Id rather my boomers listen to communist propaganda all day rather than listen to how they need to kill the local trans person down the street all day
In my experience the old people watched TV and read newspapers anyways.
